Isabella is right there on the close up map of the eq, and other famous forecasters make their JOB forecasting regions like SoCal, and Wa/Ore as successful techniques. A famous forecaster just forecast a 7m in the ring of fire and got the hit with Indonesias 7.3m. I had a post up for a 7.3 in a nearby but different region of Indonesia. A MISS! Correct sid of the country/region out of 30,000 miles of the ring of fire though. My point, the more accurate you attempt to be, at others urging, the more chance of missing by an inch!...mb.
